Realm First Fishing

2h 7m (500-525 giving a point a cast was a pleasant surprise). Thanks to the Cataclysm fish dropping early, we saw Realm First Cooking about 8 minutes after release. Herbalism and Mining were both done within the first hour. First 85 at the 14 hour mark.

All realm first achievements should be changed to: "Managed to log in just before loging servers got nuked."

That's how it worked for my realm at least, and therefore probably for the whole of Europe. If you logged in the second the new content went online you made it, if you were late by a few seconds the loging servers got overrun and you couldn't log in for an hour. There were a handful of players on my realm who got an hour's head start to questing and could not be caught by anyone. The easy realm firsts like cooking were taken before most people even managed to log in, and many competitive players just couldn't compete.

You can check all server firsts on any server by just choosing which server you want on the armory at this link. Just in case you want to check if anyone has gotten an achievement yet, or who did.

I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

I got both Grand Master and Illustrious Archaeologist achievements. Aejora on Garrosh-US Got me to level 83 and some wonderful goodies along the way. My friend Horcs on Echo Isles-US also got those achievements.
